This is very helpful, thanks! Does VN allow you to attach an audio file (recording) and music?

[@darkspeed62]

Thanks so much for bringing out an updated version of this tutorial video! Super helpful, and thorough, showcasing the feature set of this programme. It's amazing how much functionalirty they provide for free. Okay, so you probably wouldnt' cut a feature film in this, even as a student but it appears more than sufficient for the needs of reels of the sort you might produce for YT Shorts, TikTok, and Insta Reels!

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful. It's impressive what you can do with this program for free. It's helpful for short-form content. - Hazel, PV Team

[@stro8202]

Great video, really informative as usual. Just had to smile at the primal video christmas party footage thinking you lucky so and so's🤣.

Hi Justin I do hope you reply to my comment. I'm using the free version of VN Editor on my android device. When I 'm editing a 10 second short for KZbin, i have several short clips in my timeline. But I'm getting a weird problem. 1. There is a + sign in between some clips but not all of them. 2. The next problem is that when I try to add a particular transition effect (between some clips), like the blur or dissolve effect, and a few other, they are completely greyed out and I can't choose them I'm editing painting shorts, as though they were time lapses, so transitions are really useful to me Please could you advise if I'm doing something wrong?

[@MrBenmanning]

Is there any wait to add a second music track because it seems you can only add one music track, but what if there's several tracks like songs that you want to add?

Thank you so much Your videos helped me alot. I have question that can we monetize cash cow yt channel with eleven labs ai voices

[@akllls617]

Quick question, I doubt you’d even answer, but if you have multiple clips with different levels of audio how do I make sure the audio levels matches throughout all clips ? I know there’s a volume option that lowers and raises volumes but if all the clips have different volume levels from the beginning then that doesn’t help much. Is there a way to match all the clips to one volume level?

[@utkarshjain6544]

Whenever I am making my video at 1.2x or 1.3x it’s changing audio completely in iPhone what to do ?

[@NickJow]

I noticed my videos (when editing on iPhone) will continue to get darker. Even when applying a filter, it seems I cannot reverse whatever effect is happening. Any thoughts on how to fix this issue? Do all of my imported videos need to be less and 1080p?

[@OBANIJESUMUSICANDDRAMAMINISTRY]

Hi! Geat video! I have a question. In premiere pro for example, you can set your project frame rate to 24fps, and then add your 30fps shots to the timeframe and slow it down by 80% to give it a more smooth cinematic look. Is this also possible in the VN Video Editor app? Thanks! :)

[@3shades254podcast]

Hey Justin,how do I reformat my pictures alone without affecting the video

[@crstlprsn]

Hello, thanks for the videos! I can't seem to get the music clip to adjust volumes for just certain video clips. If I apply a lower volume to a clip where I am talking and hit apply (but not apply to all) it still applies it to all of my clips. Am I missing something?

[@dannichen6049]

I have the same issue! It used to be adjustable but now all clips are the same volume

[@daveyingram8934]

would be nice if you started from scratch. just to see how your setting it up. was the same with capcut, your setup was completely different from mine, so the tutorial really didnt seem like it was helpful because of two different looking platforms, they must of recently updated or something, or i set things up differently.
